Every decision has its risks and benefits. While cosmetic surgery is generally very safe, do not forget that plastic surgery has its inherent risks.

A long lasting and natural youthful appearance is the goal of modern face lift surgery. Current minimally invasive techniques have advanced these aesthetic benefits with less down time. Recovery is usually within a couple weeks.

While risks of facial surgery are minimal, they still exist and you should be aware of them. The risk of facelifting include, but not limited, undesired cosmetic results, asymmetry, disfigurement, bruising, pigmentary changes, discoloration, hair loss, facial paralysis, expressionless face, ear deformity, overstretching of the skin, facial asymmetry, lopsided face, bleeding, infection, scar, pain, numbness, nerve injury, blood vessel injury, recurrence, wound opening, fluid collection, further surgery, and anesthesia.

Speak with a plastic surgeon specializing in face lift surgery to provide a consultation, and see if face lift surgery right for you. Best of luck.
